Education and career
Lindell was born in Australia and grew up loving the ocean.[1] Lindell earned her B.A. from Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[2] She then worked as a technician on a project involving coral reef and fish and decided she wanted to pursue research in marine science.[1] She went on to earn an M.S. and a Ph.D. from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, followed by postdoctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2]
Research
Lindell's early research was on the succession of phytoplankton in the Gulf of Aqaba[3] and gene expression by the cyanobacterium Synechococcus.[4][5] Her subsequent work examined the transfer of genes between phytoplankton and marine viruses,[6][7] and the evolution of host-virus interactions as evident from the analysis of gene expression in bacteria infected by a virus.[8][9] Her research also investigates the genetic factors leading to long-term coexistence of phytoplankton and viruses.[10][11] In response to the COVID-19 disease, Lindell was part of a team who filed a patent for a reusable mask that is designed to prevent infection by viruses.[12] As of 2022, Lindell has an h-index of 31 with over 6300 citations to her published works.[13]
